1793 The Example of France, a Warning to Britain
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Leather Binding, Uncommon
The first edition of this uncommon work.
A popular work, going through three editions in 1793 alone.
'The Example of France' offers Arthur Young's warning to the English, looking at the modern state of France and how it changed after the Revolution, advising the English public to be wary of starting their own reactionary rebellion.
Young wrote this work as an opposition to Charles Grey's 1793 reform motion.
Bound without the half-title, and publisher's adverts.
